Water

Well, today is the second day without water here. They warned us during orientation that water could go out for days at a time. The lady at the front desk said that someone went to see about it and it should have been back on yesterday, but I'm beginning to get used to the concept of time in Africa, so who knows when that will be. The bathrooms and kitchen are pretty nasty at this point. There is a reservoir on the first floor, so everyone is taking their buckets down there and filling them with water to take bucket baths or wash dishes.

This is the end of Ramadan and celebrations are going on all around. Last night I stopped and watched thirty men as they did their evening prayers outside the mosque. Was taken in my the beauty of this timeless ritual.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Adwoa.
